“The President by this time should have been speaking to his counterpart, speaking to President Buhari letting him know what his people are doing in our country and that we seem to have a problem with them in terms of kidnappings.

“We need a presidential statement where this issue will be dealt with to calm people down because at the moment if this statement is not made we are all at risk,” he said.

His remarks come after the president’s brief comments on the kidnapping fears during a meeting with the Ghana anti-corruption coalition where he said, “we need to do something about [it] to make sure it doesn’t become a feature of our society.”

President Akufo-Addo, who was speaking at a meeting with the Ghana Anti-Corruption Coalition, said the decisions that will be taken by the government in connection with the crime would indicate his commitment to ensuring that the phenomenon of kidnapping does not occur in the country.
